Configuration (DMX)
The Festoon/Festoon VW works with a DMX controller. If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol,
information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX Primer. Download the DMX Primer from
www.chauvetdj.com.
DMX Personality and Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX
mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the
product's channels.
To ensure full access to the channels available in DMX mode, the highest recommended DMX address is
•
3-CH Mode - 510
•
9-CH Mode - 504
•
60CH (1 string) / 120CH (2 strings) / 180CH (3 strings) Mode - 453 / 393 / 333
To select the starting address, do the following:
1.
Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3CH, 9CH or 60CH* shows on the display.
2.
Press <ENTER> and d 1 will show on the display.
3.
Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
4.
Press <ENTER>.
*60CH may also appear as 120CH or 180CH, depending upon how many strings you have attached.
